Time for the Epilogue.


[Antarctica, Ruins]
…
You’re still looking?
In just one month…everything was buried without a trace and this place has returned to being a white void. A place where no one can live…
It seems the weather abnormalities are ongoing. There’s been constant snowstorms lately. This is the result.
To me, this is where it all began and ended. I’ve lived here for years.
…
When I was a kid, I used to join my dad and help him with his research. Whenever I came up with a good idea, he’d praise me. That made me happy, so I studied hard. The reason why I started fighting Invaders here was because of my dad and his colleagues…
…Another snowstorm is about to start, Josh.
Yeah, let’s go back to the Tower. Hustle.

quote:

…
(Everything… is gone.)
(Yes. In just a month, it all got buried without a trace… I don’t even know where everything is now.)
Rim, you’re still here. It looks like another snowstorm is about to start.
We should return to the Tower.
Ah, yes. I’m coming.
(Liana and my body was for one of my father's experiments… There were a lot of hardships and unpleasant things, but… But even so, Father was kind to us…)
(I…am grateful to you, Dad. Maybe it’s because of that that I’m here and I’ve gotten to know everyone… Because I got to be with Chris. I wouldn’t be alive today if I was alone.)
(Yeah… I think so too. I’m glad you’re here, Liana…)



[Antarctica, Tower]
I see. Relena Peacecraft has returned to being the Foundation’s representative.
Yes. It seems that she’s supported by Lady Une and the executive council officially approved her.
Looks like they’re starting to think about the future.
So what will happen to the Earth Sphere Unified Government? Without Treize, it’s doomed to fail.
They’ve temporarily chosen a chairman, but with the launch of the Earth Sphere Regeneration Organization, it doesn’t look like he’ll have much influence.
The Earth Sphere Regeneration Organization, huh? Weren’t you chosen as a committee member, Hayato?
In name only. We can leave the details to the politicians and higher-ups. I’ll remain in the Tower, rescuing refugees and maintaining peace.
Hmph. Even if we’re maintaining peace, I can’t imagine that there’s going to be a battle that would require us to get involved.
All the better. We’re fine being an unused force.


Ah, it’s cold as hell. Dad, it’s not going to be a problem. I know the Doctor wants to dig it up, but no one wants to do it right now. Maybe we should just put up some surveillance equipment?
Sure. Good work out there.
By the way boss, I just asked Tetsuya, but is it true that we don’t know where Heero is?
Yeah. Everyone except Quatre is MIA. They just disappeared so damn easily.
Typical. There’s nothing to worry about. They know how to survive. If anything happens, they’ll come back.
Even so, isn’t that a bit irresponsible? There’s still so much work to do.
They have their own circumstances.
I guess but… It’ll be lonely.


Oh, there you are..
Jun, what’s up?
Dr. Shikishima was looking for you. He said he wanted to talk to you about Glacies.
I see.. Thank you. I’ll be right there.
Tetsuya, come here. You promised to play with Shiro.
Oh, it’s that time already?
(There isn't a Rim equivalent for this scene)


Dr. Shikishima, is something wrong?
Ah, there you are, Josh.
The results of our tests are in. It’s very interesting. I won’t know how it was created, but her DNA lacks the genes that inhibit aging and has a decay factor built into it. In short, her lifespan is extremely short. I’d give her three years at most.
What.. Her…?
Well it's out of our hands. She’s different from us.
Cliff, shut up. Doctor, can’t you do anything?
If we irradiate her with Getter Rays, she might turn into something like Gou.
…
Hahaha. I’m just pulling your leg. I’d love to try it, but even I can’t bring myself to use Getter Rays at this point. In short, no. We could create a clone to repair her body, but that’s not the answer you’d like.
…Ah.
Joshua, you’re here. …What’s wrong?
It’s…nothing. Let’s go to the cafeteria. Kei and the other should be there.
Sure, but… You’re acting strange.
I just have to think about what’s going to happen from now on…

quote:

Umm, doctor, I heard you wanted to talk about something…
There you are, Rim.
The results of our tests are in. It’s very interesting. I won’t know how it was created, but his DNA lacks the genes that inhibit aging and has a decay factor built into it. In short, his lifespan is extremely short. I’d give her three years at most.
Eh…?
(No… Ven…?)
So then…
Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do.
…
Is something the matter? You’re making a weird face.
Ven…
…Don’t worry about it. I never thought that I’d still be alive. That alone makes me happy. I can still be with you guys.
B-but… Mmm.
Come now, don’t look at me like that. Let’s go get some hot cocoa. It’ll be strong, just how you like it.



[Moon’s Surface, Von Braun City]
I see, so you’re leaving.
Yes. General Gascon and Roze are leaving, so I’m going to have them accompany me to Planet Fleed. I’ve already told Captain Amuro and the Tower about it.
I’d like you to stay on Earth forever, but…
Don’t be selfish, Mika. They have a mission to rebuild Planet Fleed. Just like we have to rebuild the Earth Sphere… No, even more so.
Prince Harlin and Lord Gascon have promised to cooperate. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, we will join the Galactic Federation.
Prince Duke, I know you can do it.
Thank you, Mars.
Daisuke… Maria… You’ve got to be strong.
Hikaru…
Take care, Maria.

quote:

See you later. Someday.
Yes, for sure.

Maria, what’s that you’re holding? It looks like it’s important to you.
Shaki, Suzy, and Sanae collected these for us. They’re flower seeds from Earth.
I hope Planet Fleed will be full of beautiful flowers.
Of course. Brother, it’s time to leave.
Koji still hasn’t shown up yet…
I know Koji hates saying goodbye. I’m the same… So I won’t say it. Everyone… Take care.


If you’re ready, then let’s get going.
Uuu… Koji…
maria… I’m on your side. Even if we’re apart, our feelings are connected. That’s what I believe.
Mmm… Thank you, Roze.


Now then, Commander Asuka, we’ll prepare to return to the Bulge… No, it’s called Ceres now. Zechs and Lady Une should be waiting.
I can’t believe they’re turning OZ’s space fortress into a space station of the Earth Sphere Regeneration Organization. Lady Une sure is bold.
Shogo, are you going back to Megazone?
Yeah. We have to consider what to do next. I’m not the type for that sort of thing, but I’ll make it work somehow. Yui and Eve will be with me.
I see… That’ll be rough.
Are you sure you didn’t want to go with Roze, Takeru?

quote:

Marg returned to Planet Gishin already, right?

Yeah… It’s fine. I may be a Gishin, but I consider myself a human from Earth. I also heard that they’re using Gishin technology to build a warp catapult on Earth. Once it’s completed, I can come and see them whenever I want…
Yeah. We can see you off without any worries.
If you’re done, then let’s go, Yahagi. I just got permission from Colonel Char.
Yeah, I think I’ll go home now. To our city, Megazone.


[Battle 7, Bridge]
captain, docking with City 7 is complete. No abnormalities anywhere.
Information link with each ship in the fleet is complete. No abnormalities in any ship.
…And this is when we say goodbye to Earth.
This is our second departure. Macross 7 is a migrant fleet. Once the situation in the Earth Sphere has settled down, we will return to our original purpose. We knew this from the beginning.
Yes. The galaxy is vast. There must be many more undiscovered Earth-like planets like Lux. Also, with the data from Helios and Gishin, we can confirm truly unexplored space. It should be easier than before.
That’s right. Also, if we find a habitable planet, it will be beneficial for the people of Earth. Someday… Humanity will spread across the galaxy and play a part in the Galactic Federation.
Yes…
Captain, we got a message from Colonel Char on Side 3.
He’s being polite even though I’ve already said my goodbyes to everyone. Please forward it to me.


[City 7]
Mylene, it’s almost time for the first Fold.
And again, we have to say goodbye to Earth. I made so many great friends…
Kikii…
Don’t worry. They’re re-establishing the Fold communication network, so we can always be in touch. And we have our songs, don’t we? As long as we keep singing, our feelings will continue to reach Earth.
Our feelings are connected, Mylene.
Yeah… The farewell concert with everyone was a great success.
Yes. Even Eve joined us on the big screen.
I’ll have to do my best.
Yeah. I know you’ll be fine, Mylene.
…
Basara, why are you so quiet? Ah, I get it. You’re lonely because that woman Sivil went to another universe with Geppelnitch.
Idiot. You should practice properly to make up for the time you weren’t able to. If you make a mistake like the other day, you won’t be able to keep up.
What’s that about? You don’t play along with me at all! Selfish! Irresponsible!

The following is a scene only if you took the Space Route at the start of the game (Josh in this case).


[City 7]
Those two are the same as always…
Yep. Regardless, I didn’t think you would come. Thank you, Josh. There’s the possibility of fighting some stray Zentradi or remnants of the Gishin Army. We’ll be counting on you.
Well, since I’m going with you, I’ll do everything I can.
Are you sure, Joshua? This planet is your…
You were the one who wanted to go, right? Leaving the Earth to travel among the stars of the galaxy… That sounds nice.
Yes, that’s what I said. If I could live a different life, it wouldn’t be on Earth, but…
…Would you rather be alone?
Not at all. I’m glad you’re here. But…
I…will always be with you. Forever.


[Side 3, Neo Zeon Military Facility]
So Judau, what now? Until now we’ve just been helping with the cleanup…
We’ve been on the Moon for a while now. If there’s no problems, let’s go back to the Jupiter Sphere. Things are pretty bad over there.
Yes… Let’s.


He went to Macross 7 too? Apparently I’m going to get quite lonely in the Earth Sphere.
Yeah… But this isn’t the time for sentimentality. We are who we are, and we have a lot of work to do.
That’s true. I’m finished here. Shall we head back to the Regeneration Organization HQ on the Moon?
Sounds good.


What is it?
The Earth must rest. We’re making plans for this purpose. I can’t give up on that.
That’s true, but…
But I wonder if those on the surface will agree. If a dispute develops over this, it’ll be like putting the cart before the horse. And in a situation where several autonomous governments exist in each Side…
Firstly, we need to create an alliance that’ll head towards unification based on the November Treaty. I heard that Relena is visiting every colony and increasing her number of supporters.
Her five-year plan involved the Earth United Treaty Organization.
Something like that. I feel like I can leave it to her. At the end of the day, we’re just soldiers. I heard rumors of moving the Romefeller’s HQ to the Moon.
That’s a bit much. I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.
Amuro. I just got word that Kamille and Fa just arrived at Kasarelia.
Great. I wonder how Marbet, Uso, and Kento are doing.
Yeah. I heard they built a new house. After Koji’s gang stays with them for a while, it looks like they’re going back to the Tower.


We’re still a long way from peace… But we have to do something about it.
In the end, I might do the same thing again. Even though we’ve been through so many battles, over time, humans will forget.
I know. So we have to show people hope. Show them the light in their hearts, right? I want to believe in the feelings that we felt back there, the will that surrounds this Earth Sphere. People can change. Do you agree, Char?
Nothing is going to improve instantly. But unlike before, things are starting to change. You should recognize that.
Yeah… You’re right…

The following are scenes only if you took the Earth Route at the start of the game (Rim in this case).


[Kasarelia]
Have you arrived at Planet Fleed yet? Daisuke… Maria. It’s going to be tough, so do your best…)
Hey Koji, what’s wrong? You’re staring into space.
Oh, it’s nothing. Hey Odelo, is this enough?
Sure. You’re the only one who hasn't caught a single fish yet, Koji. We’re going to sell these in town, so get your head in the game.
Tch. You’re breathing down my neck. Okay, watch. I’ll catch the biggest one yet.


Everyone, I just got a call saying that the Macross 7 just departed.
So today was the day. They left too…
They were originally a migrant fleet, so it makes sense. Anyway, Kento, you’re just lazing around. Are you sure you don’t need to go to Planet Gishin?
Yeah. As long as I’m alive, I can always get in touch with them, and even go see them. Besides, there’s nothing for me to do here. It’s better that I stay and farm here.
You’re right. Well, I guess I’;ll go and see if Koji caught any fish.
Sure.


Yes, that’s right. You go straight down this road to reach Woowig…
Shakti.
Oh, Kamille and Fa. You came.
You look well, Shakti. Who’s that?
…A traveller who got lost.
Is something wrong?
No… Nothing.
Are you feeling well, Karl?
Goo gaaa.
EVERYONE IS FINE. KAMILLE. FA. HOW ARE YOU?
I’ve just finished washing up, so I’ll show you around. That’s where our house is. Before, we couldn’t make a fire like that because we had to hide from the Unified Government and OZ…
So everything is better now?
Yes.


[Tower, Break Room]
The Earth Union Treaty Organization?
What’s that?
It’s still being discussed, but it seems that Relena is proposing a unified government plan for the Earth Sphere. They’re aiming to move forward with it in five years.
That girl’s been going around the colonies a lot lately.
She’s coming up with some crazy ideas.
But even if it's the Regeneration Organization or an Alliance Treaty, they may be able to recover the Earth’s environment, but they don’t talk about expelling people from the surface. Is Char Aznable going to be okay with that? I somehow doubt it…
But Bright and Amuro should be at the Regeneration Organization HQ on the Moon, and Noin and Takeru should be stationed on Ceres, right?
I think they’ll keep things under control.
…We’ll be nearing Kasarelia soon.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen those kids, huh?


[Kasarelia]
Wow, what’s going on? Everyone is here.
I wanted to see how you kids were living, so I dropped in on my way to get supplies. They didn’t tell you?
You got here earlier than I thought.
Oh, you’re here too.
Jun! Tetsuya!
Shiro, how are you?
It’s been a while, Koji. I’m glad you’re doing well.
Likewise. We’re going to stay here for a while and then head back to the Tower. Why don’t you do the same, Tetsuya?
I’m…not cut out for this.
Warren and Tomas don’t seem to be here. Did something happen?
I’ve got those two out shopping in town.
Hey Marbet. Your belly’s gotten bigger again.
Yea. it has.
Wow, that’s a lot of people. Odelo, why don’t we not take the fish into town and just grill them all instead?
Huh? What do you mean you’re leaving?
You’re not staying in Kasarelia?
Really? Rim, you don’t want to be here?
No, it’s not like that… I just want to think about something for a bit…
About what?
Sorry, Suzy.
So… Is it about that guy? I heard about it from the doctor.
Yeah… There’s that too…
(We need to think about what we should do from now on properly…)
(Mmm… And there’s also Ven… And we have to visit our brother on the Moon.)
Be careful, Rim.
Thanks. But I’ll come back once your baby is born.
Thank you. I’ll be waiting.
(I wonder. What will Marbet and Oliver’s baby be like?)
I know us in Kasarelia don’t have much say and I know it’s for the greater good, but with the Tower and the Earth Sphere Regeneration Organization, will the world really be at peace?
Uso… That’s…
Impossible. Making peace and maintaining peace aren’t things we can do. That’s someone else’s job.
Yes… But I think I’ll be fine. That thing I felt back then was real.
That’s right, Tetsuya. What would we do if we didn’t believe in the Earth we protected… It’ll work out just fine, I’m sure.
[Phone ringing]
Hmm? What’s wrong, Hayato?
It’s almost time. Return to the Tower. We’re leaving.
